Couple of small problems - avatars and banners?

Hi,

Have now got my forum up and running using MySQL and have set the forums/categories up without problems.

A couple of small problems I've noticed:

1 - I've set my avatar size as maximum 90x90 and 10Kb in size. However, when trying to upload an avatar of less than this size it errors with the following:

Warning: copy(./images/avatars/72223091843aed5bd00436.gif): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/mberry01/public_html/phpBB/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 286

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/mberry01/public_html/phpBB/includes/usercp_avatar.php:286) in /home/mberry01/public_html/phpBB/includes/page_header.php on line 483

Fictional Reality Forum Index

Any ideas why this is failing?

Secondly I can't see an option to add a banner/logo for the front screen of my forum - is this facility available in PHPBB2?

Hi,

It sounds like you need to update the permissions for the phpbb2 installation in File Manager in cPanel. Yes, you can change the banner/logo - have a look on the phpbb2 website about changing skins....

Regards,

Jacob

Thanks Jacob - any ideas what needs to change under the permissions...?

When I go down to the level of 'includes' I have the following settings:

Mode User Group Mode

Read ticked ticked ticked
Write ticked notick notick
Execute ticked ticked ticked
Permission 7 5 5

Am happy to change the values with guidance but to be honest wouldn't have a clue personally what to change them to...

Will take a look on the PHPBB website for the banner query...

Cheers.. Marcus

Double checked and had the images/avatars directory but needed to change the write permissions to all ticks (permissions 7, 7 and 7).

Now working fine

You could just overwrite the current logo /images/logo_phpBB.gif
